Planning for COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us, the changes and impacts will continue for some time. It’s during times like this when you need you remember that you are part of a community of best practice, so don’t be alone. The Forum is your friendly, safe environment for sharing ideas, top tips and pitfalls to avoid. In this time of uncertainty its important that we collaborate and work together, bringing together ideas and use this time as an opportunity to learn and continue to raise standards.

We have designed three short series of learning academy modules, along with a top-tips & pitfalls to avoid for homeworking webinar and then a virtual networking group to help you. Phil Anderson has written an article about some of the considerations you might need to make.

The Power of New Perspectives: How Rising Stars Help Shape Change

Across many environments, established ways of working can slowly narrow perspective. Processes that once made sense become unquestioned routines. Metrics continue to be tracked long after their purpose has faded. Teams develop habits that feel natural but mask inefficiencies. Rising Stars bring a powerful contrast. Their fresh eyes cut through the noise. They ask the simple questions that others avoid. They see gaps that have blended into the background. This ability to observe without assumption often exposes opportunities that were hiding in plain sight.

Yet fresh perspective is only one part of what makes them stand out. The willingness to learn at pace is equally transformative. Many have stepped into roles with limited technical experience and taught themselves new analytical tools, coding languages, or operational disciplines in weeks rather than years. What makes this particularly impactful is not just the speed of their learning but the way they apply it. Instead of learning for learning’s sake, they learn to solve problems, to reduce friction, to make the complex feel simple. Their early contributions become stepping stones for organisational growth.
